HT Twitter: is Michelle Obama breaking the law about using child labor for farming? We thought the Obama Administration could be persuaded to let the little tykes work on the family farm, but that regulation still stands. From the Daily Caller: 

The Obama administration is seeking to put an end to the great national scourge that is 12-year-olds helping out on their family farm, Patrick Richardson reports for TheDC:

“A proposal from the Obama administration to prevent children from doing farm chores has drawn plenty of criticism from rural-district member of Congress. But now it’s attracting barbs from farm kids themselves … John Weber, 19, understands this. The Minneapolis native grew up in suburbia and learned the livestock business working summers on his relatives’ farm. He’s now a college Agriculture major. ‘I started working on my grandparent’s and uncle’s farms for a couple of weeks in the summer when I was 12,’ Weber told TheDC. ‘I started spending full summers there when I was 13.’ ‘The work ethic is a huge part of it. It gave me a lot of direction and opportunity in my life. If they do this it will prevent a lot of interest in agriculture. It’s harder to get a 16 year-old interested in farming than a 12 year old.’”
